SMP or XFTP server address avoiding it ends with the port number

[nicfab]

I had to set up SMP and XFTP servers on a different port instead of the default ones because the default (especially 443 is already taken by another service). Thus, the server (SMP or XFTP) address finishes with @domain:portnumber. Is there any way to avoid the server address finishing as mentioned below, with @domain:portnumber? I mean, modifying some parameters somewhere.

I would also love to see the ability to change ports. 443 is very commonly reverse proxies for many.

Hello, It would be really interesting to be able to specify a port other than 443 for the xftp protocol. Thanks in advance!

If you are using docker compose, just specify:

version: "3"
services:
  simplexchat-xftp:
    ...
    ports:
      - "5233:443"
    ...

and add this portnumber=5233 @domain:5233

If you are using docker compose, just specify:

version: "3"
services:
  simplexchat-xftp:
    ...
    ports:
      - "5233:443"
    ...

and add this portnumber=5233 @Domain:5233

Can you please clarify what is this portnumber=5233 and where it should be added?

This is if port 443 is already occupied on the server, you can specify any other one for xftp in the docker compose. Added to yaml and then to the app for xftp

Ah understood, I thought it was something additional (except docker-compose + entry in app).

Unfortunately doesn't look like app accepts currently xftp with custom port (looks like it's ignored)

I have added a port and it works

You are right looks like it works, but the android app is just showing red X sign it doesn't somehow

For me both the Desktop GUI client as well as the Android client still act up if I try to add a xftp server on a non-standard port. To reproduce just copy the xftp:// string from a preset server (xftp2.simplex.im) and add a port descriptor so it looks like: xftp://[email protected]:443,jk6jybnel5hin2am5omd7g3hyvb4tfkyl7ea4vx5ldi7gpvz5ogqtcqd.onion

port 443 is the default port for xftp so it should be reachable at that port even though specifying a port in this case is redundant of course. When I add the:443 part the "Test Server" button immediately gets greyed out and I cannot establish a connection to the server even though it is reachable at the same port when the :443 is omitted. Same for my own xftp server that I host at a non-standard port: I cannot enter the connection details because the client considers them invalid.

@systemling32 Try putting the port after the onion address. See https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplexmq/issues/849#issuecomment-1773997094
